smp1. Heat broiler. Brush broiler-pan rack with olive oil; place 8 inches from heat.
2. Place chicken breast halves between sheets of plastic wrap. Lightly pound. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Slice each breast horizontally almost in half but leaving one side attached. Arrange a mozzarella slice, tomato slice and basil leaf on bottom half of each breast, keeping filling in center. Fold top of chicken over filling, pressing around edges to seal.
3. Combine bread crumbs and parmesan on a sheet of waxed paper. Brush chicken with mayonnaise. Dip chicken into crumbs; press to adhere.
4. Lightly coat both sides of chicken with nonstick cooking spray. Place chicken on prepared broiler-pan rack. Broil 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, or until internal temperature registers 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. |
